Missing

.....

Within the Bai Clan's Ancestral Region..

Few minutes after the catastrophe caused by Xiao Ming reduced, both men slowly opened their eyes. their skin was surrounded in a faint glow caused by unconscious release of immortal qi.

Bai Yunxiao and Shen Fantian exchanged glances at once due to unrestrained happiness. They were a fraction of those who had achieved enlightenment during Xiao Ming's Divine Retribution. After waking up, their eyes became more glittering like transparent glasses, evidently, they gained a lot in this few minutes. They wished that cultivator could just continue, however, they wouldn't be this content if they figure out that Xiao Ming was the sole inducer of the catastrophe.

"Fantian, I've made great gains in this few minutes of comprehension, it feels like I have been relieved of fifty years of bitter training haha! I'll be going in for seclusion anytime soon to digest my encounter." Bai Yunxiao spoke in smiles, breaking the awkwardly calm atmosphere.

"Ai! Yunxiao, I'll be going in for seclusion as well after I return. The harvest is really huge. I even manage to comprehend an low rank immortal spell through this phenomenon. I believe I increased my survival rate in the Ascension Tribulation has exceeded the fifty percent limit haha!" a pleased Shen Fantian put in with a broad smile. The feeling he had now was gratifying as he could not help but grin from time to time.

"Someone's coming... hmph!" Bai Yunxiao suddenly harrumphed coldly. They were amidst smiles a minute before, but then Bai Yunxiao twitched his face. His smile disappeared and in its place was a frosty frown. Just then Bai Qing barged in, totally ruining the dao mood of the two.

"Father, Uncle Tian, which of you caused the weird phenomenon outside a while ago" Bai Qing asked oblivious of the frosty gaze that his father was giving him. When he got to meet his father's unusually chilly look, he was taken aback. A lot of veins were dancing on Bai Yunxiao's face as his anger was soaring to its peak. he immediately cursed inwardly as he knew the look only had one meaning - his psycho of a father had been offended. A loud holler rang in Bai Qing's head before he realized himself.

"You unruly son! what on earth does this mean huh? What do you take this old man for? You barged in here like it's a trade ground huh! can't you grant this old man some bit of privacy with a friend. As for this matter, you'd better handle it yourself hmph!" Bai Yunxiao spat out with boiling blood as his tone depicted his anger that had been held all this while.

"Haha!..." Shen Fantian reared his head backwards in wild laughter. He found Bai Yunxiao's action a little extreme and quite funny. Bai Qing's actions were slightly disrespectful but not to warrant such pervious scolding from his father at his present age.

"Yunxiao, you're such a psycho, I don't see any bad in going over to check the cause of the phenomenon. You're a huge joke and a nagging parent as well." Bai Yunxiao said with an amused expression. Bai Qing furrowed his brows as this definitely wasn't the reply he had been expecting after scurrying over here.

"Even you both are unaware of its cause?... now this is troublesome" Bai Qing asked with a solemn look on his face.

"What? You mean there are no possible cultivators responsible for the phenomenon... This is truly strange" Bai Yunxiao asked with his jaws wide open to cover the heavens. Bai Qing nodded in affirmation and this caused a bit of drool to seep from Bai Yunxiao's lips before he rapidly shut them. Bai Qing had naturally not included the possibility of an important 'mortal' of the clan. He could not suspect or relate Xiao Ming to matters like this as he was only an ignorant 'mortal'.

Shen Fantian cleared his throats as he provided a ready suggestion.

"We didn't cause the commotion and I believe the other ancestral courtyards were unlikely to be the cause. If I remembered well, the incident's location pointed in the direction of the Earth Mountain" Shen Fantian spoke in a grim tone and a light of realization flickered through the father and son duo.

"Earth...Mountain, ....Earth Mountain...." Bai Qing muttered continuously as he reined in his thoughts. He suddenly looked up with bloodshot eyes in shock frightening the two. He reduced the shock and clasped his hands with a slight bow to apologize.

"Excuse me Father! Excuse me Uncle Tian! I feel like the cause is from either of the two youths over there. I'll go check the mountain right away. I realized that for a while, I had yet to get a response from Little Ming" Bai Qing said and immediately excused himself solely heading in the Earth Mountain's direction.

"Grrh!" Bai Yunxiao growled and clenched his fists tightly while vibrating and muttering in gibberish like a true lunatic. He felt bitter at the sight of the 'lamb' scrambling away from his already bared fangs. Shen Fantian was puzzled at the reaction of this psycho of a friend he had.

"C'mon... Let's go check this out haha!" Shen Fantian chuckled as he swung his sleeves and made a forceful jump to the skies to make a quick flight over. At the Demi Immortal realm, one could utilize the true ability of flight after they had successfully shed mortal blood and gained few wisps of immortal qi. Usually, it would be strenuous for long distances but the Earth Mountain wasn't far away; hence there wasn't an issue with that.
